The Emmy-winning "King of the Hill" was set in the fictional Texas town Arlen. The town is supposed to be located somewhere in Central Texas, but animators sent a mixed message as to exactly where throughout the show's run. Creator Mike Judge on separate instances has referred to the setting as based on Humble in the Houston suburbs and Richardson in the Dallas suburbs. However, a phone number on the local business Strickland Propane includes a Beaumont-Galveston (409) area code. less

(Note: A town named Highland does exist southwest of Fort Worth, but with only 60 people according to the 2000 U.S. Census, it's safe to assume this is not the same town where the animated duo went mall shopping and held down jobs at the local Burger World.) less

Texas TV shows: Where were they actually filmed?

Back to Gallery

"The Night Shift," a new NBC medical drama set in San Antonio, debuts Tuesday, May 27, but if you're a TV buff looking to go visit the set of your favorite Texas-based show, you better gas up.

Like many Texas shows, "The Night Shift" isn't actually filmed in Texas.

Despite being set inside the emergency room at the fictional San Antonio Memorial and a few shots of local landmarks getting thrown in, "The Night Shift" largely is being filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, reports MySanAntonio.com TV blogger Jeanne Jakle.

The reason: money ... of course. The state known as the Land of Enchantment has enchanted producers with a 30 percent tax rebate for shooting in New Mexico.

Check out the slideshow above to see which other popular Texas-based TV shows were actually filmed inside the Lone Star State and where.
